PH Comment - Gareth

Great hunt. Fantastic tracking and final hour success on our wounded buffalo. AN is a great hard ethical hunter. Truly a pleasure.

Client Comment

I told Gareth on the drive in that my trip wouldn’t be successful or unsuccessful based on getting a buffalo, rather it would be defined by the quality of the experience. I got all that I could hope for and more. While I wish my first shot was immediately lethal, the follow up that evening and the following day was a true testament to the legendary ability of the trackers I have read about on these hunts. They kept us in it literally all day, even when the blood ran out and when the track was obscured by a herd of buffalo that passed by after ours. And I all culminated in an 11th hour miracle when he got up and we were able to put an end to his track.
